Hello I am new here and also new to the bunny world. I kinda jumped into it not knowing what I was getting into. Having owned and raised lots of different animals I thought a bunny would be easy and I have always wanted one so I started looking for one for my daughter. Before I knew it I was agreeing to take in 2 giant Angoras 1 female who was 9 months old and a male who is 8 months old. As well as a lion head mix that is over a year. I'm sure a lot are asking what was I thinking and some days I wonder that too lol but we quickly fell in love. All three are just the sweetest. Now I was told that they had kept the male separate from the females and so I continued to do so. We have had them since August and we recently put a fenced area up outside for them to play in. Mostly the females because the male is usually out with me anyway. A few weeks ago my older daughter was here for the weekend and I forgot to tell her to keep them separated. It wasn't until the sounds of laughter and yelling from the girls that I realized and as you can guess my male was already done. Now as I said I know nothing about bunnies til now and it's all what I've read online but I do think my giant angora might be pregnant. She's done all the normal signs I've read about except the actual nest building. She did pull her fur out like a week ago but I haven't noticed her actually building a nest other then maybe digging a hole when she's outside. But today when I went to get her out and let her play in the big cage she was very aggressive and growling at me. She even lunged at my hand a few times. She does look much bigger as well. Could she be getting close? She had already been acting differently but today it was just so much more noticeable. Id just like to be prepared if she is gonna have babies soon. Should I keep her alone in her smaller cage or is she ok to be out still with the other female? Any advice will be appreciated thanks!

Sorry to laugh at post but, the "didn't tell do keep separate" part was where I knew -- YES!! bred!!

There ya go....more buns on the way. She'll need a nest box, privacy and hay to bed them....🥰
